On The New Year.


ZERO TOLERANCE
Are we starting this new opportunity on the right foot?

Are we set to get the most out of this opportunity?

Let’s not allow anything to get in the way of us reaching our goals.

This is our life. This is not a Dress rehearsal.

Let’s OWN it.

Wishing us all a Kick Ass New Beginning.

BELIEVE!!!


believe in yourself
It has been a while since I cared for what anyone else thought of me.

Now. I just listen to my inner self specially when it comes to

my goals, dreams and aspirations.

There are many who wish me well, but no one wants me

to be successful as much as I want it.

Set Goals, Go after them, Destroy them and REPEAT.

Forget about the doubters, and the haters., don’t waste

time on them that you can be using on making a Better You.

Let’s continue to kick it gang.

The Royal Albert Hall. Amazing.

Keep smiling and looking for what will make you happy.

Yes You Are!

you are too yungAnd for all that: Do not allow anyone to judge for being too old either.

We have things to do and who and how we are is no one else’s business.

What we want to change about us is not anyone’s business either,

so if you want to lose an ounce or a whatever amount of pounds

Rock On With Your Bad Self.

You decide what your future looks like., Only you.

Be a shark. Be a freaking SHARK.

On Self Love

Why we do what we do? I had to learn that while it was ok to continue to give to others and of my self., I had to find love to and for myself. It is not an egotistical journey but an adventure of discovery and self realization. I celebrate a pound lost or a size reduced. I am happy for an inch and happy for a ounce. I am happy to be doing better. Celebrate you progress. Because I am sure you will agree that not going back is progress in and of it self. Staying at the same weight for a long time is an issue but from one week to the next it just means that you were able to deal with cravings and temptations. Just Do Not Go Backwards. OK gang today as always I wish you all the best of the best. Jose G. Osuna www.lapbandformen.com

Attitudes.

1457712_735144046514425_1918118794_nThis is the attitude we need

when dealing with negative, insensitive,

ignorant people.

It is human nature to allow others to

have influence in us.

If “they” are not walking day by day

in our shoes with our ups and downs,

our challenges and battles., their opinions

mean only what we allow them to be worth.

Don’t give-up that much power to anyone.

And to my friend in the Carolina’s I say

You can do it, you are worth it, YOU DESERVE IT.

On Life.

good things happenFor those of you familiar with my blog and

work you know that I have been working

on getting to my ideal weight yes., but I am also

working on creating a life I can feel proud of.

In the process of making a difference in and for

my circle of influence I have shared honestly and,

have contributed with advise from my own

past experiences.

Me just like you have had nice and significant

triumphs but had also to wrestle with the

Alligator of failure and short comings.

On the spirit of sharing I want to tell you the two

things that are making a difference in my daily

battle., this are things that are working for a

hard case like me so maybe they can make a

difference for someone else out there.

1.- I have a coach that has been kicking my ass

up and down the long hours of the day.

Her outside view with the inside info she

gets from me has had outstanding results.

2.- the influence of the products, service and support

of the 48 days community. Gang you do not have

to buy anything to get some great free tools and

you can join their weekly podcast for free. Why do I

recommend it? Well because in the process of

doing more than just loosing weight I am building

a life and a business and  there I have found real

people with real dreams and some of the challenges

that we all face. If you are working on more than

just loosing weight and making a living take a look at

their program I hope you benefit as much as I have.

To the right you can find an affiliate link that will

take you straight to their site. As I said before you DO NOT

have to buy anything but you can get a lot for free.

Gang till the next time.

Be Quiet!

be quietDo you at times feel like saying this to some people?

OK… Maybe it is just me.

I just hate it when people think that we must

hear and share of their opinion.

Sorry but I have no patience or tolerance

for people like that.  Maybe, just maybe

you are a lot nicer than me and you think

that if you just play nice maybe they will

eventually get the idea… I have news for you

they will not.

So what to do?? I put a stop to it right away.

I have actually chosen to move away from

my siblings because I could not tolerate the

small mindedness and constant negativity.

I have ended relationships and left behind

negative and non-supportive friends

Sorry., I just have no room for it.

I hope you can protect your goals and dreams

from the negativity and attacks of others and

continue to fight on. Do not be a casualty of political

correctness. Just Say NO MORE.

The Impact Of Other’s In Our Life.

be alergic to negative peopleIt is incredible the impact that at times other people around us have in our life.

We can not choose our family but I tell you if someone from your family brings

you down it is time for you to choose just how much time you spend with him/her.

If you have a friend whom you love but is poisoning your efforts it is time for you to

love from a distance., a safe distance.

Many will say “I will help you” “I will support you” “I am here for you” and they will.,

until you actually need them. Then the diarrhea of excuses happens.

Choose the people around you. Your life, dreams and hopes are way too important.

Find and associate with persons who bring value to your life.

Let Them Talk.

worry about yourselfLet others worry and talk about whatever

they want. YOU on the other hand

must worry about you!

No one will do what it takes to make you

better and they shouldn’t.

“If it is to be it is up to me”

is the policy we must live by.

Clean eating, exercising, sleeping,

hydrating and all the other things we do daily

to keep us going benefit only us.

with that in mind make sure that you

are working on your goals (you have them right??)

Live better and longer by remaining

focus on the daily improvement of you as a

person and individual.

Keep fighting the good fight.

Regardless.

Always AlwaysThe inherent imperfection of being human.

We hope too much, We love too much.

We expect too much, We want too much.

We give too much, We push too much.

And some times we and those around us

fall short of what is expected.

Maybe it is just me.

The reality is that we all must be

honest, realists, sensible specially when

it comes to planning our activities.

We must at all times keep the main thing

the main thing as Mr. Covey told us.

Let’s keep those things that are relevant to us

on the front burner and continue to push.

Our health and goals are worth it.

Let’s make it happen.

Keep Working Today On A Better Tomorrow.

On Dreams.

dont folow your dreamsA dream can be that catapult that throws you

out of bed and onto the road to the gym or

for your daily walk.

A dream can also be that heavy rock that

takes your breath away when you realize

that you have not made it happen.

Regret for what we could but decided not to do

is a pain that we all have experienced at one

time or another.

Today in the here and now I decide

that my dreams are mine and worth the

effort. I want a better life. I want to loose the weight.

I have already too much that I regret and this

will not be one more thing.

Keep it close and personal. Keep those dreams

alive but as my father used to say: “Wake up

and go to work so your dreams can be reality”

Gang. Keep on keeping on.

3 Choices.

3 choicesIt is a fact that we always want to “give it all we got”

But it is also a known fact that at times we DON’T.

It is my experience on this occasions that if  I recognize

the event and immediately take measures to correct

the situation/environment/cause then the damage is limited.

We will have moments when the dessert table wins, when the

extra serving is just too good to pass, when we have one or two

too many drinks and for the most part it is ok in as long as

we recognize the moment and work on minimizing the impact

and be better prepared for the next time.

Gang. We live and we learn and part of the learning is

that we commit again, every time to give it our all.

Let’s continue to fight for a better tomorrow.

The Meds In Our Days.

Pills

I know very well that I have to take certain meds

every single day. At very specific times.

 I know that I need them.

But What to do when for whatever reason we

are unable to take them. What to do when

the pain hits and you are unable to function.

If you are depressed or dealing with fibro

with out your meds you might as well

just sit and breath as there is not much else

you can do. I KNOW.

There are many reason why we at times are

unable to take our meds as prescribed and

we must avoid that by any means but when it

happens try to have a plan B even if it is just

to howl at the moon in a therapeutic fashion.

or fantasize about inflicting the same pain

on some one who has not kept their promises.

Hope you never go through putting up with pain

because of lack of meds… It Sucks

If you use lyrica or Cymbalta like I do you know

how severe the withdrawals are if you do not

follow the prescribed times.

I guess I am just venting and letting my own

body know that we still have more battles to

fight in the future. All in all pains and all

I am grateful to be alive today.

I wish you all a great one today and always.

Life Changes.

6dbc367c2331fcbf60ab2286d5d8a433

It is during this moments when people show us who

they are but also who they are not.

Our life and Our goals and Our plans are just that

OURS and as important as they might be to us they do not

necessarily apply to others even if we love them or if they love us.

Change even to those who need it or want it remains change

and, change is one of the scariest substances ever confronted

by humans throughout history.

We need change. We can benefit from change and yet it is

most times an unwanted ingredient in the soup of our days.

Gang. Let us keep our minds clear and our goals present.

Do not forget the why. The why is where the key is.

Stay Focused Stay Successful.

The Season.

20120602_163445_resizedThe weather is changing.

I find myself nostalgic and missing my home

in Mexico. This picture was taken there

a while back., sitting on the balcony.

I am not there right now. Wish I was.

I went for my walk today and for the first time

I required a jacket. A sure sign that I will

need to be mindful about food as we approach

the season of the year when many of us do

the most damage to our plans and goals.

Gang. Our journey is not one where we have to

deny ourselves of everything we love to eat.

We must however start with a plan and a clear

and honest idea of what is going to happen.

I will on one day have mashed potatoes. I know this

and I know what day that will be. So before I sit

at that table I will force my self to drink two (2)

glasses of water and then and only then I will

confront the potatoes.

I have a plan. Maybe dumb and silly for some

but this will work for me.

During the season I will eat pumpkin pie, turkey,

gravy, etc. And I will enjoy it.. A Lot.

I miss Rocky Point, Mexico So Very Much.
